=== Before you Begin ===
The Electric Blast Furnace is a Multiblock structure. It is 3x3x4 blocks (3 long, 3 wide, and 4 high)

== Upgrading your EBF ==

Now that you've got your EBF running, it's time to upgrade it to make it run faster and more efficiently!
=== Power ===
'''Cabling'''
With a functional EBF,
▲With a functional EBF, you can create redstone alloy cables, which are completely lossless. Make a few- the minor efficiency boost will add up when you run your EBF for hours at a time.
'''Using an MV generator'''
A MV generator can be used to power the EBF instead of 4 LV power sources. If choosing to do so, ensure there is only ONE MV Energy Hatch instead of two, otherwise it will not work. Multiple MV Energy Hatches will cause the EBF to expect overclocking, the same way it did when initially set up with two LV Energy Hatches.
'''Upgrading the Voltage'''
120 EU/t is
▲120 EU/t is not enough to smelt many things, the most important one being stainless steel. You'll need to supply 4 amps of MV to reach 480 EU/t, the required energy for stainless steel. Keep in mind that running 120 EU/t recipes (such as aluminium or steel) will consume TWICE as much power at 480 EU/t.
=== Coils ===
Upgrading
Every recipe has a listed "Heating Capacity". This value tells you how much heat you need to perform the recipe, and how much of an efficiency bonus you will get when using coils that exceed the recipe's requirements.
'''Bonus Heating'''
In GT New Horizons, an extra bonus value will be added to your EBF's heat capacity of 100K * (tier - 2), where LV is tier 1, MV is tier 2, etc. This will allow some items to be smelted more efficiently at certain tiers, as described below.
'''High-Heat Recipes'''
Some recipes will require more heat than cupronickel coils provide. For instance,
▲Some recipes will require more heat than cupronickel coils provide. For instance, energetic alloy requires 2200K, while cupronickel coils only provide 1800K- thus, you cannot smelt energetic alloy until you upgrade your coils.
